Simon Mason, known as the 'Cat in the Hat', takes centre stage in this episode of Dopey. A figure from the Britpop scene of the 90s, Simon's story is a whirlwind of rock 'n' roll excess, drug dealing to famous bands like Oasis, and his own harrowing battle with heroin addiction. His journey from chaos to recovery is nothing short of remarkable. Simon shares wild tales of shooting speedballs, catching fire, and even dousing flames with urine!
He also touches on almost managing Banksy and crossing paths with Kurt Cobain. It's a rollercoaster of a life that ultimately leads to redemption. Simon's candid reflections on his past and his path to sobriety are both shocking and inspiring. This episode is not just about the dark humour of addiction; it's about finding hope and the strength to change. Alongside Simon's stories, you'll also hear a hilarious voicemail about butt-related antics and some entertaining emails.
Don't miss out on this mix of madness and motivation – it’s classic Dopey at its best.
